Mystery Dowel Pin Thing
So yep. I took out my LIM and UIM and took off the secondary fuel rail and put new o-rings on and had the injectors sent out to RC and at some point this little dowel pin thing fell out of the LIM. its about 1 Inch long, about as thick as most 10mm studs on the uim. on one end it has a hollow spot about 2mm deep and on the other side is a small rubber cap. i'm stumped. at the time i was removing the ACV also(which is blocked off now) so i have no clue where the hell this thign goes. all i have is my camera phone to take a pic so here's that:

Ive done two engine rebuilds and never seen anything like that before.
It could be a dowel for some part of the turob control system thats been capped off. Whats the spec of your car? did it definately fall of the LIM or could it be anything?
Check your UIM and LIM for random holes, also check the actuators ontop of the turbos as you could have snagged those ripping something off.

that's what i thought too but its solid and has what looks like a solid piece of brass inside of it. it doesnt seem to be a rubber cap that you can take off either.

haha its my camera phone's camera i dont think i have a macro mode. its at its highest resolution as it is...sad... I'm sure its not a nipple since its not hollow and the brass piece inside doesnt move in any way so i know its not a valve.

nah its tiny man. i mean its really about the width of a vac nipple. i had the LIM in my room fresh off the motor. i was taking off the fuel rail and as i was trying to get the damn air bleed sockets otu i tipped it upside down and this little ****** came out of no where. i was also taking off the ACV at the time also as well as everything else on the LIM.
